265/60R18 tires
265/60R18 belongs to the Jeep Grand Cherokee. It has been the Laredo and Limited size since 2011, it carries over to the 2022-on Laredo and the three-row Grand Cherokee L, and it is also the size on the Dodge Durango SXT and GT, the 2010 to 2023 Lexus GX and the V8 Nissan Pathfinder of 2008 to 2012. Below are real prices for 286 tires in stock, three picks with the specifications behind them, and how Jeep owners handle winter in this size.
Yes, this fits your Nissan Pathfinder. 265/60R18 is the original size on the 2008-2012 Nissan Pathfinder.
The sticker inside the driver's door is still the final word, because trim and wheel package can change the size. Back to every Nissan Pathfinder size.

A heavy SUV on a mid-height sidewall
The factory tires in this size typically carry a 110 load index, which is 2,337 pounds per tire. All three picks meet it, and the Milestar exceeds it as a 114 extra-load tire. At about 30.5 inches tall, 265/60R18 has enough sidewall to absorb broken pavement and the occasional gravel road, which is why many owners keep the 18-inch wheels even when the 20s are an option.
Towing is the other consideration. A Durango or Grand Cherokee pulling a camper puts extra load on the rear tires; keep them at the pressure the placard gives for a loaded vehicle, and choose a tire whose load index is at least the placard value.
One set for the year, or two?
265/60R18 is one of the most common winter-tire sizes among Jeep owners, and there are two sensible ways to handle snow. One is a dedicated winter tire on a second set of wheels. The other is an all-weather tire with the three-peak mountain snowflake symbol used year-round, which is what our budget pick is. All-weather tires give up some tread life and summer precision against an all-season, but they meet the traction laws on their own and save the twice-yearly swap.
A four-wheel-drive Grand Cherokee or Durango already passes most traction laws on the vehicle alone; the tire still decides how well it stops and turns on snow.
What the numbers on the sidewall mean
A 265/60R18 tire is 265 millimeters wide, its sidewall is 60 percent of that (about 6.3 inches tall), and it mounts on a 18-inch wheel. That works out to an overall diameter of roughly 30.5 inches. Every replacement has to match all three numbers, and the load index and speed rating on the placard inside the driver's door have to be met or exceeded.
In this size our picks are marked 114V on the Milestar Weatherguard AW365 (2,601 lb per tire, rated to 149 mph), 110T on the Firestone Destination LE3 (2,337 lb per tire, rated to 118 mph) and 110H on the Continental 4x4 Contact (2,337 lb per tire, rated to 130 mph). The first number is the load index, the letter the speed rating; a tire with equal or higher values than your placard is fine, a lower one is not.
Our guide on reading a tire size walks through the markings, and this one lists every load index and speed code.
Our three picks, side by side
One tire at each price level from what the retailer stocks in this size, with the mileage warranty and UTQG grades as published by the manufacturers and their retailers. Treadwear is the number to compare: it is a relative wear rate, so 700 should last roughly twice as long as 350 on the same car.

Milestar Weatherguard AW365, $168.95. An all-weather tire, not an all-season, with the three-peak mountain snowflake symbol for severe snow. The retailer's pages disagree on the warranty, giving both 50,000 and 40,000 miles, so treat the lower figure as the safe one. In this size it is 114V, an extra-load tire that exceeds the Grand Cherokee placard.
Firestone Destination LE3, $218.99. Firestone's highway SUV tire carries a 70,000-mile tread life warranty and a 90-day buy-and-try guarantee on sets of four. It is listed as 110T here, matching the factory 110 load index, and it is the long-life choice for a Durango or Grand Cherokee that mostly sees pavement.
Continental 4x4 Contact, $167.40. An SUV all-season with a tread designed for dry, wet and light snow, backed by Continental's Total Confidence Plan with road hazard, a trial period and roadside assistance. The pages we read do not state the mileage figure for this line, so check it on the listing. This version is 110H.

The same tires in neighboring sizes

The Firestone Destination LE3, our mid-range pick here at $218.99, is also stocked in 245/65R17 ($193.96), 235/55R20 ($212.99), 235/70R16 ($158.63) and 255/50R20 ($262.99).

Useful if your vehicle came with a different wheel package, or if you are comparing an upsize: the same tire usually costs more per inch of wheel, not per inch of rubber. Prices per tire, from the retailer's feed Nov 13, 2026.
Winter on an SUV in this size
Most SUVs in this size are all-wheel drive or four-wheel drive, which is enough to satisfy Colorado's Passenger Vehicle Traction Law on the 126 miles of I-70 between Dotsero and Morrison, in force from September 1 to May 31, as long as the tires have at least 3/16 inch of tread. A two-wheel-drive version must instead be on tires marked M+S, 3PMSF or rated all-weather by the manufacturer. Fines start at $130. Four driven wheels help you pull away, not stop: a heavy SUV on worn all-seasons needs much more road to brake on snow than the same vehicle on a tire with the 3PMSF symbol, so in the snow belt choose the tire, not just the drivetrain.
Our pick the Milestar Weatherguard AW365 carries the 3PMSF symbol.

Frequently asked questions
How much do 265/60R18 tires cost?
Expect $99–$154 per tire for a budget brand, $154–$220 for a mid-range tire like the Firestone Destination LE3, and $220–$302 for a premium tire like the Continental 4x4 Contact. A set of four therefore starts at about $396. Add roughly $15 to $45 per tire for mounting and balancing.
What vehicles use 265/60R18 tires?
265/60R18 is original equipment on Jeep Grand Cherokee (2011-2021, Laredo/Limited), Jeep Grand Cherokee (2022-2024, Laredo), Jeep Grand Cherokee L (2021-2024), Dodge Durango (2011-2024, SXT/GT), Lexus GX (2010-2023) and Nissan Pathfinder (2008-2012, LE), among others. Always confirm with the sticker inside your driver's door, because trim levels and wheel packages can change the size.
What is the best 265/60R18 tire?
For most drivers our mid-range pick, the Firestone Destination LE3, is the sweet spot of price and tread life. If you keep the vehicle a long time or drive in heavy rain and snow, the Continental 4x4 Contact is worth the extra. On a tight budget the Milestar Weatherguard AW365 is a sound choice.
Can I replace just one or two 265/60R18 tires?
On a front- or rear-wheel-drive car, yes: replace in pairs on the same axle and put the newer pair on the rear. On all-wheel-drive vehicles most makers want all four replaced together, or a new tire shaved to match, because a difference in circumference strains the drivetrain.
